Pratima Rao briefed the attendees on the role and responsibilities of a sevak and the vision of Gurudev.

After lunch, participants were made to sit in groups for Group Discussion, followed by presentation by each group, based on Bala Vihar syllabus. Pratimaji explained the structure and curriculum of Bala Vihar. The program concluded with Chinmaya Pledge and Shantipaath.
